Transporters Raise Fares in Rivers State Amid Dangote/NUPENG Dispute

Transporters in Rivers State have increased fares by up to 30% following the shutdown of petrol stations due to a face-off between Dangote Refinery and NUPENG. The disagreement has led to a scarcity of vehicles, leaving many commuters stranded.

The fare hikes vary across different locations in the state, with some routes experiencing a significant increase. The NUPENG strike has exacerbated the situation, causing inconvenience to both passengers and commercial vehicle operators.
